Instead of writing the whole thing again I'll just paste this from my blog;

As you may know, I remade Omega Race back in 2006 and then did it again in 2009.

Some of the reasons for remaking it again is that I wanted a game that looked better, played better and was more arcadecabinet-friendly.
(the menu-system in the original version was a bit wonky as a result of my just-as-wonky programming style back then).

But surprisingly the first version still gets a lot of downloads and last week I recieved request to make the menu more arcadecabinet-friendly. So I did.

I've now updated the game to v1.2 which has 2 things changed from the original version;

  • The "Do you want to exit? Y/N" requesters has been changed so they now work with the arrow and firekeys. That means that the keys are more standard and you don't have to remap the Y & N keys if you're running the game in an arcade cabinet. The menu is still a bit wonky...but at least it's better now. Wink
  • I've implemented online highscores, like most of my games has had since, so you can now compare your scores with other player's scores. The scores that are downloaded when you sync the score are not saved locally though, so to fill out the list you have to sync after running the game. It was a bit of a rushjob so I wouln't be surprised if there are bugs, but if you find any please let me know.

The updated game can be downloaded by going to its page, >here<
